Services for Students with Learning Difficulties
Sapienza supports students with Specific Learning Difficulties (SLD) and/or a previous history of neurodevelopmental disorders (intellectual disability, communication disorders, autism spectrum disorder, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, specific learning disorder and movement disorders; APA, 2013) and/or disability profile or other special 'educational' need.

International students, EU or non-EU, are required to provide a certificate attesting to their disability status issued in their country of residence, accompanied by a sworn translation in Italian or English.
Registration allows you to:
- use the services provided by Sapienza for students with SLDs and/or the aids available;
- communicate your needs;
- get information on all the services offered by Sapienza for students with SLDs.
